-----------------------------------
HDFS-1448-0.22-2.patch is identical to HDFS-1448-0.22-1.patch except for
removed temporary troubleshooting code that I forgot to remove before (in
TestOfflineEditsViewer.java).

> Create multi-format parser for edits logs file, support binary and XML
> formats initially.
> Parsing should work from any supported format to any other supported format
> (e.g. from binary to XML and from XML to binary).
> The binary format is the format used by FSEditLog class to read/write edits
> file.
> Primary reason to develop this tool is to help with troubleshooting, the
> binary format is hard to read and edit (for human troubleshooters).
> Longer term it could be used to clean up and minimize parsers for fsimage and
> edits files. Edits parser OfflineEditsViewer is written in a very similar
> fashion to OfflineImageViewer. Next step would be to merge OfflineImageViewer
> and OfflineEditsViewer and use the result in both FSImage and FSEditLog. This
> is subject to change, specifically depending on adoption of avro (which would
> completely change how objects are serialized as well as provide ways to
> convert files to different formats).
